December 24, 2011 - This is quite nice, if not drunk too cold. If over-chilled you get little of the fruit, and the alcohol is very pronounced. Following the advice of another review here, I tried it somewhat warmer (maybe 12 Celsius), and it was much more balanced and enjoyable.

By Randy Caparoso
July 31, 2010 (link)(Crocker & Starr Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley) California Sauvignon Blancs are another ball of wax. When they’re bad or average, they can be annoyingly fat and fruity, but when they’re great, they can be downright hedonistic, while remaining crisp and dry. Forgive me, Father, for I have fallen under the spell of Crocker & Starr’s obvious charms: its billowing, exotic, tropical arboretum of a nose more like a pealing Megan Fox than a lean and taciturn Noomi Rapace; its voluptuous layering of peaches and cream on the palate suggesting Marilyn Monroe rather than Katherine Hepburn. What’s not to like, especially with snowy white veal or roasted chicken in plush sauces? Hot Picks
